Chapter 2 The gift that can't be given
Chapter 2 can't give a gift
Under Weiss's expectant gaze, Lore still opened the box in front of him.
Originally, Lore didn't expect much, but when she saw the item in the box, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
There is a bracelet in the box, the shape is simple but very beautiful, the bracelet body is silver-gray, the material should be Mithril or the like, and the bracelet body is symmetrically inlaid with four brown translucent gemstones, which is the thousand-year-old giant turtle demon core divided and created.
Lore took out the bracelet and found that the mass distribution of the bracelet was very symmetrical, and then carefully looked at the bracelet itself, and found that the edge of the bracelet made of Mithril was very delicate, and there were no flaws to see, and there were many fine magic lines carved on the bracelet body, connecting the four diamond-shaped gems in series, and the place where the gems were inlaid was also integrated with the bracelet itself, and there were no signs of artificial carving at all.
"How's it going, does it look okay?" asked Vess, smiling.
Lore nodded and exclaimed, "It's perfect! I didn't expect the senior sister's craftsmanship to be so superb! It's so beautiful!"
"Haha, yes, if you like it!" Vess touched his nose a little embarrassedly, and then said, "You also saw the shape, and then I'll tell you a little bit about its efficacy!"
Weiss cleared his throat and said confidently: "According to your requirements, the main functions of this equipment are two, one is the increase of water magic, according to different magic levels, the increase effect is also different, according to my estimates, the increase rate of low-level magic can reach twenty percent, and the increase rate of medium-level magic is almost ten percent, and the difference between high-level magic is relatively large, it should be able to reach about three to five percent!"
"Such a high amplification rate?!"
Speaking of this, Lore couldn't help but be a little surprised, because this first amplification effect completely exceeded the first-class level, but he didn't expect the workmanship to be exquisite, and even the effect was so good!
Lore couldn't help but think of the strange weapon that Weiss used during the academy competition, could it be that the equipment was also made by Weiss himself?
Vis smiled proudly, and then continued: "There is also a second function is mana storage, when the thousand-year-old magic core is extracted, it is somewhat lost, and the magic power that this bracelet can store is about ninety percent of that magic core, which is roughly equivalent to the total mana of two ordinary level water magicians." ”
Lore couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the level of this alchemy equipment far exceeded her expectations, but, in this way-
"Sister Weiss, your craftsmanship has far exceeded my expectations, but the value of this bracelet is more than I paid, right?
Share!"
After Lore finished speaking, he was about to rummage through the spatial ring, but was stopped by Ves.
Weiss said: "The reward you give is enough, there is no need to add more! Besides, we don't know each other, I still like you, let's have more contacts in the future! If you need anything, just come to me!"
"Alright then! Thank you, Sister Weiss!"
Lore had a little more affection for this raunchy senior sister, but then she couldn't help but be a little afraid, she was really worried about once again involving innocent people in danger around her.
Lore secretly made up his mind not to bother Vis if it was not necessary in the future.
Lore made a decision in his heart, and was about to say goodbye, but Weiss suddenly asked: "Senior sister, I remember you said that this bracelet is for gifts, right?"
Lore was stunned, then remembered someone who had left without saying goodbye.
The corners of Lore's mouth were slightly bitter, and he said, "Originally, yes! ”
Seeing this, Weiss hurriedly said, "I'm sorry! I don't know, just ask casually, don't you care!"
Weiss didn't know the details, and thought it was such a thing as a couple breaking up, her original purpose was to learn from this schoolgirl and see if she could learn one or two useful methods, so that she could learn from them and use them to attack Aier, but she didn't expect to accidentally step on a minefield, and she was immediately very embarrassed.
Luo Er smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter! Anyway, I still have to thank Senior Sister for her help this time! Then I'll go first!"
"Okay! goodbye then! Come to me when you're free!"
Lore left, and Vis stood in the doorway for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, until the cold wind blew, and he hurried back to his room.
"El, do you want to take a bath with me?"
As Vis walked towards the bathroom, he couldn't help but tease Ayr, but he didn't hear any response.
Feeling a little strange, Vis called out again, "El?"
There was still no response, and Weiss couldn't care less, kicked open the bedroom door, and then found that the bedroom window had been opened at some point, and the cold wind was blowing the curtains, and Al was gone.
......
After Lore left Vess's dormitory, he walked slowly and alone on his way back to the magic department.
The weather in December was already very cold, the cold wind was blowing, and the trees on both sides of the road in the college could only wave their dry branches weakly.
Lore's heart couldn't help but feel melancholy again, recalling that injured night, Lore unconsciously sighed again.
It's only been less than a month since the night before, and it's not too long.
Aitch and Rick have healed from their injuries and have returned to the academy for classes a few days ago.
Although the injuries on Corelli's body have healed, she still shows no signs of waking up because of the mental stimulation she has received too much, and she has just been transferred to a new sanatorium a few days ago.
Because of Corelli's affairs, there seems to be an invisible barrier between Lore and Rick, and there is a lot less communication, and they always subconsciously avoid each other's eyes when they meet occasionally.
In this case, Aiqi and the others saw it in their eyes, were anxious in their hearts, and tried to change this status quo, but to no avail.
Lore has really become a lot more silent during this time, and compared to the previous out-of-the-box personality, it can be said that they are completely two people.
The activities of the Lore adventure team were also temporarily suspended, and the person who said goodbye without saying goodbye never came back, and the team with one less person always felt a lot worse, and when changing the location of the meeting, it always felt that something was wrong, not only Lore, but the other three people also felt the same.
Lore stopped, and took out the gift he had specially prepared, the gift was perfect, Lore had been thinking about what kind of reason to use, what kind of expression to use to put this gift in the hands of that person, but now it was completely unnecessary.
Because she didn't even know where that person was.
Lore took the bracelet back into the box, placed it in the deepest part of the storage space, and continued to walk forward step by step.
And behind a big tree not far behind Lore, Aier, who had complicated eyes, was silently watching Lore leave.
Al judged that it was her the moment Lore's voice sounded, and when Lore left, she unconsciously quietly followed.
She didn't know why she did this, whether it was moved, nostalgia, regret, or something else, and when she came back to her senses, she was already silently watching Lore's back.
The night before, she had secretly made a decision to leave that place full of joy, but she didn't expect so many unexpected things to happen that night.
She underestimated the ruthlessness of Ancias, and Ke Lian, who was supposed to help Lore solve their predicament, left one step ahead of time for some reason, and even her own side was caught off guard by An Ancias' dying counterattack because of carelessness, and then she was almost killed by Ke Lian who suddenly appeared.
In the end, although Al barely escaped, he also paid a considerable price, not only did his strength suffer a great loss, but he was unable to change back to Kylo's identity until now.
However, even with Kylo's identity restored, Al knew that she could no longer return to that place, and she could not explain why she had left, let alone why she had returned.
Perhaps, now such a predicament also happens to give Aier
A reason not to think about these questions.
However, Al never imagined that she would see Lore again here in Weiss.
Without thinking about it, Al could guess that the equipment that Lore had made for Tovis was for his other self.
Al has always known that Lore has some special feelings for Kylo, but she doesn't know how to respond to this feeling, and she can't respond, because she knows that she came to Lore just to complete her mission, and she is just a malicious existence like Anansias.
If necessary, she must even kill Lore in exchange for mission success!
Therefore, she must face this relationship calmly and even indifferently.
However, as time went on, Aier's heart slowly changed, and she was even a little immersed in those laughter.
Leaving is not the best option to complete the mission, but it can make her calm again.
However, when she saw Lore again and saw her lonely expression, Al unconsciously felt a little sad in her heart, and she even regretted it a little, regretting that she should not have made the decision to leave.
But—
After all, the things of the past cannot be changed, and the decisions made cannot be changed!
Al doesn't want or intend to blame herself for everything in the past, and from the beginning to the end, she has only one purpose, which is to complete her mission.
The scenery on the road is beautiful, and her heart is full of nostalgia, but she must give it all up!
This is her fate, the price she has to pay to survive.
She would never have been able to take that gift again.
Aier slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, pressed the chaotic thoughts back to the bottom of his heart, and then clenched his fists, and turned around and smashed out without hesitation!
Behind Aier, a girl who didn't know when she appeared tilted her head slightly, and then opened her palm to meet Aier's fist.
